The Flow
Like the men's memory is not a summation; it is a chaos of vague possibilities. This is a story about me falling asleep on the road. In the first scene, I fell asleep after many turns. Because it was raining before I fell asleep, my dream started with being submerged in the car. Then come a window scene in my memory, when the wind blowing, oranges and table get weightless. The orange turned into a star, and I followed the orange down to the bottom of the ocean, this clip simulates the feeling of weightlessness and vertigo when riding in a car. Finally, I woke up. Turns out it was all just me falling asleep in the car while eating an orange.

Wenwen Zhu is an artist, illustrator and animator who creates drawings, video works and multimedia installations that brim with poetic meaning and analogies. She brings visual impact through the playful composition and bizarre human shapes of images, 3D simulation, and video display. Her work reflects everyday life by examining how interactions between environment, bodies, and technologies reshape our concepts of self, nature and society.
3D is a very practical tool for making realistic arts, but I personally love art that has a warmth to it, and such art usually includes physical touches and imperfect images. I am also an illustrator, one of my favorite material is ink whichI I always use to draw heavy outlines. And I also obsessed with the power of the nature, trees, and reshaping our concepts of self. I develop a new way of building on my experience, by combining 2D&3D together and create imperfect 3D.
